Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
The danger to Xanth was so great that only a night mare could offer hope! The Nextwave of barbarian warriors was invading Xanth from the north, ravaging and destroying as they advanced. But Mare Imbrium had her own problems. Ever since she had gained the half soul, the night mare had begun to mishandle her job of delivering bad dreams. Now the night Stallion dismissed her, exiling her to the day world with a message for King Trent: Beware the Horseman! She had no idea what that meant. But that was the way with prophetic warnings—nobody could understand them until it was too late. Then she met the Horseman. And she discovered that one who would right a night mare was a master of a bit and spur, and not a man to surrender her. For the night mare, it all began to be a horrible nightmare!

Book Description
Plunge your mind into the epic depths of Preflood Earth lore. A long lost place where fantasy, history, and myth meets truth in a cascade of high adventure, fused in a hurricane of action during humanity's ancient ancestry. Relive lost legends concerning the seduction of women by the angelic order of the Watchers.

There, they dwelt for 5,000 to 10,000 years, crafting the foundation of the greatest stories ever told. Stories of titanic clashes of heroes, villains, good, evil, and wars between men, women, and creatures. The stories that seemed never-ending until the great doom befell the ancient ones and drowned the existence of all.The journey to Preflood Earth begins with Dor Vahdor Volume I: Creation, Angels, War. The account of the rise and fall of the first creation, the Light-Bringer, and The Great War in Heaven. The Great War that begot all wars, and stained the seven realms with blood and clashes of combat across its kozmic firmament. A Great War that no mortal mind could even begin to fathom that is, until now.Dor Vahdor is for everyone to experience. Pre-flood Earth is for humankind to discover. Open your mind and imagination; then, set your course for the third star to the right that lies beyond the son of morning and nothing that you have ever read before. The Primethology Epic of Spear and Spirit high fantasy and science fiction, which travel up from Earth's surly bonds unto the Kozmic realms of the Highest.
